Editing Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (section)

==Industry and economy==
{{Further|Gettysburg furniture companies}}
The furniture manufacturing industry employed people in Gettysburg for the first half of the 20th century. The "Gettysburg Manufacturing Company", formed in 1902, was the first company established in the borough for the purpose of manufacturing residential furniture. Other companies soon followed. The borough's industry reached peak production and success about the 1920s. This important industry declined from 1951, when the three main companies either moved, closed or were sold. The Gettysburg Furniture Company factory closed in 1960, becoming a warehouse and distribution point for other furniture factories outside of Pennsylvania.

=== Tourism ===
Gettysburg manufacturing associated with tourism included a late 19th century foundry that manufactured gun carriages, bridgeworks and cannons for the [[Gettysburg Battlefield]], as well as a construction industry for hotels, stables, and other buildings for tourist services. Early tourist buildings in the borough included museums (like the 1881 Danner Museum<ref>{{cite news | url = https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=KCcmAAAAIBAJ&pg=2331,6772032&dq=gettysburg+battlefield-museum+-foundation&hl=en |title=Out Of The Past: From the Files of the Star and Sentinel and The Gettysburg Times |page = Four |date=September 28, 1954 |newspaper = The Gettysburg Times |access-date=August 8, 2013}}</ref>), souvenir shops, buildings of the [[Gettysburg Electric Railway|electric trolley]] (preceded by a horse trolley from the [[Gettysburg Railroad Station]] to the Springs Hotel), and stands for hackmen who drove visitors in jitneys (horse-drawn group taxis) on tours. Modern tourist services in the borough include ghost tours, bed and breakfast lodging, and historical interpretation (reenactors, etc.).
